Description

AKA: Eddies High Somewhere This route was a real score for the first ascent party. Ground up, onsight, all free. It is a fun traditional romp up the center of the Eddie's High Somewhere formation.

Pitch 1: Begin in the center of the wall below a left facing corner/chimney. Climb up the corner treading lightly over the pasted blocks at the bottom. Near the top of the pitch there is a stack on the right that also requires care but can be avoided by holds out left. This pitch is fun and better than it sounds. Belay on a nice ledge at a 2 bolt anchor. 5.8, 80'’.

Pitch 2: Climb a clean splitter hand crack. Belay on a large sloping green ledge at a 2 bolt belay. 5.9, 90'’.

Pitch 3: Move to the right across the ledge and up a wide crack/chimney using TCU’s in horizontals for pro. Belay at a 2 bolt anchor near the top of the formation. 5.7, 90'’.

Descent: Rappel the route or walk off.

Protection
